SAN ANTONIO — Leo Santa Cruz and Erislandy Lara are the leading candidates to headline the Nov. 30 boxing card at Freeman Coliseum, the promoter for the card said Thursday.

Mike Battah, of Leija/Battah Promotions, said discussions are underway with handlers for the fighters to appear in separate bouts.

Santa Cruz (25-0-1, 15 KOs), a Mexico native now living in Rosemead, Calif., is the WBC super bantamweight champion. Lara (18-1-2, 12 KOs), of Cuba now fighting out of Miami, is the WBA junior middleweight champion.

The opponents for each are to be announced.

The show is being promoted by Lejia/Battah Promotions in conjunction with Golden Boy Promotions.

Also, Battah released the names of fighters scheduled to appear on the Nov. 11 card at Cowboys Dancehall.
